No, according to microeconomics the final sum would most likely not be higher. The higher the price the harder it will be to find buyers capable of and willing to pay the price. The best price might be even lower, it is the main reason why smartphone games are so successful. With a price of only a few dollars, you could be attractive to several million casual buyers, with a higher price you are limited to hardcore fanboys. Fortunately, BK has a lot of them.

Microeconomics is the reason why most money is made on steam sales, humble bundle or the smartphone market these days.

Of course it would be higher, just as you say, hardcore fans is what is funding this project, they're willing to pay a higher price.

The hardcore fans (over 16,000) are already paying £30 ($47) or way more to get the soundtrack or other minor stuff or to show more support.

You really don't get how kickstarter works, do you?
